RED LODGE, WINDSOR GREAT PARK, BERKSHIRE

This large house replaces a run-down Edwardian house in a generous landscaped garden with a small lake surrounded by mature trees. The house is finished in red brick with features in French Limestone.

The accommodation includes a double height reception hall as well as the usual reception rooms, study, family room and seven bedroom suites. The building above ground was limited by the planning legislation, so the extensive leisure accommodation (cinema and games room, swimming pool, gym, changing rooms etc.) is located in a basement that opens to a sun-lit sunken garden.

The development also includes garages, staff accommodation, a generous guest-house and stables.
